That's because it installs only 32bit plugin. You need to use nspluginwrapper or downgrade adobe-flash.

[Comment 2 Luigi 'Comio' Mantellini 2011-05-14 12:16:57 UTC]

Same here. I masked the last adobe-flash.

[Comment 3 Marcin Kowalski 2011-05-14 13:28:07 UTC]

confirming this. doesn't work on amd64 system at all.

[Comment 4 Agostino Sarubbo 2011-05-14 14:32:25 UTC]

works for me on amd64 with icecat.

[ebuild   R   ] www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.2.159.1_p201011173  USE="64bit (multilib) -32bit -bindist -vdpau"

SOrry, bad info attached:

[ebuild   R   ] www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.181.14  USE="kde (-vdpau)"
works for me on x86 with firefox

and

[ebuild   R   ] www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.181.14  USE="(-kde) -vdpau
works for me on amd64 with icecat

try to recompile nspluginwrapper

[Comment 6 lordcris 2011-05-14 15:01:32 UTC]

yep, recompiling nspluginwrapper did it for me.

[Comment 7 Jim Ramsay (lack) (RETIRED) 2011-05-14 15:23:48 UTC]

The flash plugin already pulls in nspluginwrapper, so the question is: why did recompiling it work?

When you re-emerged nspluginwrapper, did it upgrade to a newer version or just recompile the same one you already had?

No. If flash is already installed does not pull in nspluginwrapper

When you ugprade to www-plugins/adobe-flash-0.3.181.14 it DEPENDs on nspluginwrapper, so it forces it to be instaled.

However, I did just find a bug in the ebuild that was not automatically invoking nspluginwrapper like it was supposed to.

Fixed in www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.3.181.14-r1
